Addressing Mode Byte

Prof.S.Michael Raj
Department of MM
Nilgiri College
• The addressing mode byte in a microprocessor is part of the
instruction encoding that specifies how the operand(s) of an
instruction are accessed.
• Different microprocessors have different methods of
encoding instructions, but the addressing mode byte
typically tells the processor where to find the data it needs
for execution.
Common Addressing Modes:
1.Immediate Addressing Mode:
•The operand is directly specified in the instruction itself.
•Example: MOV A, #05H where 05H is the immediate
data.
2.Register Addressing Mode:
•The operand is in a register, and the instruction
specifies which register.
•Example: MOV A, B where the data is in register B.
•Direct Addressing Mode:
•The operand is stored in a memory location, and the address of the
operand is specified in the instruction.
•Example: MOV A, 50H where 50H is the memory address.
•Indirect Addressing Mode:
•The instruction specifies a register that holds the address of the operand,
rather than the operand itself.
•Example: MOV A, @R0 where R0 contains the memory address.
•Indexed Addressing Mode:
•The operand's address is determined by adding a constant value to a base
register.
•Example: MOV A, 50H(R0) where R0 is the base register and 50H is the offset.
•Relative Addressing Mode:
•Often used in branch instructions, where the operand specifies a relative
offset from the current instruction.
•Example: JMP 05H where the program jumps to an instruction 5 bytes away from
the current one.
Function of the Addressing
Mode Byte:
• Instruction Decoding: The addressing mode byte helps the
microprocessor decode how to interpret the subsequent
bytes of the instruction and where to fetch the operands.
• Flexibility: It allows the microprocessor to use a variety of
methods to access data, which makes the instruction set
more versatile.
• Different microprocessors may have different
formats for the addressing mode byte, and some
may combine the opcode and addressing mode
into a single byte or multiple bytes depending on
the complexity of the instruction set.
